HorrorScope wrote on Jun 5, 2020, 21:11:I still read articles stating the 3600 is the top buy in processors today. I argue it is the 3700, not that it benches today better for the cost. But when consoles are going 8/16 you want to at least match that. I get it when we weren't certain what next gen had, but once we knew 8/16 is the new base line.

Actually, when consoles have 8/16, you should go with more than that.10/20 or 12/24 should be better, especially 1+ years after those consoles have been released.

Usual suspects going off now.The whole "conversation" can be read on my profile, page 43 & 44.I tried my best explaining, but they just see what they want to see and are obviously perfect humans on a mission to bring down the bad ones, even if its just bad words uttered in their youth.And then they wonder why people and the whole society are more and more dishonest.Hypocrites, as I said.

opie wrote on Jun 3, 2020, 08:42:there we have it. judging people on their actions and not their race is now racist. I give no more fucks.

Yep. And they even think they are morally superior, while they are just hypocrites, and thus racists themselves.

Remember back when you said that you called 14 year olds the n word in online games because it made you feel better?

Yet, weirdly, you don't think you're racist. It's really confusing to the rest of us how that works.

I remember no such thing, because I never said that.I said that I sometimes used the f word when I was young and never meant it the way you claimed I would. Back then that word didnt have a politically loaded meaning. Not to mention I even gave you an example of a South Park episode where they basically even talked about exactly that word.

But interesting that you spew out lies when you think I have you on ignore and cant defend myself. I can only imagine what other lies you have told about me in the last 3 years since that happened and you suddenly attacked me personally on every topic, citing hypocrisy where there was none, just because you were so triggered because I made you expose your political extremism, loaded with lies.But it tells a lot about you if you bring up stuff from 3 years ago and then even lie about it.Again: You did that to yourself. Now again.

Also I remain unhyped - since I really didn't like the gameplay demo they showed. So many things that made it not DnD 5e and rather DOS 3.0, nothing wrong with that, but I want DOS 3 more than I want a DOS 3 that looks like Baldurs Gate

This is exactly what I got from the video... glad I'm not alone.

Same here. The demo had DOS all over it. And since it's both a high fantasy setting, they really have to get out of their way to convince me I'm playing a Forgotten Realms game and not another DOS.

Yep, didnt feel like Forgotten Realms/Faerun one bit.

You know its entirely possible that Minsc will be in BG3, as it's apparently set about a hundred years or so after the events of BG2. Minsc and Boo were petrified at one point and placed in the market square of Baldur's Gate - known as The Wide. Over time the statue become known as the Beloved Ranger, until about 70 years after its 'construction' a wild magic surge went off nearby and dispelled the petrification.

What dumbasses. I remember vividly how I sold about a dozen of Stone to Flesh scrolls to Baldurs Gate merchants.Also from the wiki:This scroll cannot be used to learn the 6th-level wizard spell.This scroll can be bought in almost every temple throughout the Sword Coast.

Instead of believing their own eyes and ears, which doesn't sync with reality, they'd prefer to believe there are vast conspiracies across the planet involving millions of people coordinating thousands of stories at once so that the media can control us. "These media companies are all lying to you! The truth is being told by a high school drop out on Youtube!" they scream. "Can you provide any evidence these news stories are fake?" "Um...gotta go!"

The lies and left out facts of the MSM is the reason these people have become so numerous. And thats why you shouldnt blame those people, but the MSM. Realizing that they are literally lying every day is believing your own eyes and ears.

Cutter wrote on May 26, 2020, 21:01:Way too far out. After all this bullshit they'll want money sooner than later. Besides, it's been 7 years since V. It'll be out next year.

And it'll be filled with MTs with the SP as an afterthought. GTA5 SP content after launch was a joke.

You are out of your mind. Who cares about the online microtransactions? You can completely ignore that side of it and still the offline content in GTA5 dwarfs 99% of other games, just as its predecessors did in their time. They never made any promises about post-launch SP content, that was always just wishful thinking from the fans, same as how they now clamor for an RDR1 campaign add-on for RDR2. That doesn't take away from the massive amount of big budget action-adventure they gave you for $60... I thought people who don't like microtransactions WANT the entire, complete game to be included in that one-time purchase?

I recently played SP again. Its really not that much content. I spent much more time in other open world games. I mean its a really awesome story, and I really enjoy playing it, but its really not that long.

The online content is huge, though. It takes you literally thousands of hours to unlock/buy everything, unless you spend real $$$. And thats what they are making so much money with. Microtransactions. Selling ingame money for real money.

The biggest problems of that game are cheaters, online load times, not having dedicated servers (which also affects cheaters and load times massively) and the horrible and non-uniform controls and UI design.

And as we saw in RDR2 (incl. Online), they dont give a shit about any of those problems. Its like they just reskinned GTA5.

Yeah, horrible, but what happened there?The game has bots now? They implemented them, or are they China bots farming?Im also (not really) surprised that this game still has the stutters from the beta version (the alpha version didnt have them).

Tried it again recently, and even though I have almost 100 hours played before, I died in 30 minutes due to sickness and hunger.I quit playing before because the game takes too much attention to finding food and water and staying healthy, in a very unrealistic manner (even rain can make you dead-sick in a few seconds and you can go from a full belly to starvation in just a few hours).And now they have made it much worse.Uninstalled it very quickly again.

Not really expecting much from Bethesda anymore. Never have actually. Not even in the 90s.So It wasnt a disappointment for me.I mean, its sad seeing Doom in a state like this, yes, but I am actually getting used to seeing good IPs being raped. It has just become too common.

The Half Elf wrote on May 21, 2020, 06:20:Sorry to go against the grain, but most of us are old school gamers and these games just aren't for us anymore. Back in the day we had Tomb Raider, Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem, SimCity, Xwing, etc etc etc.

This is this generations version of Team Fortress 1 or 2/Rainbow Six/etc. Not for us, not for us "to get".

Wrong. I still like a lot of games if they are well made and something new. I even started to like platformers recently, after playing the Ori games.I played Fortnite and Apex Legends, and liked them more or less (hated the building in Fortnite though). Loved PUBG, until I realized how bad it is from a technical standpoint.But after the 12th clone, or hybrid of putting 2 successful games together, I am getting bored, sorry.

I know back when I was younger I often imagined how games will look like in the future, how advanced they are, how many different things you can do, how real they are, because many games hinted at that kind of future, espeicially when first playing games like Ultima Online, EverQuest, Operation Flashpoint, Tribes, etc. Nothing came true of that. Nobody is taking risks anymore. Not even the multibillion dollar corporations. And when they take a risk, then everyone told them beforehand that it would fail, and it does.And when indies try something new, it either gets bought up by the big ones or their success makes them greedy and go the microtransactions route.

The mobile game sector shows perfectly whats wrong with gaming. They even use templates for new games. Essentially only changing the skin. And its been coming to the PC and console sector as well.

Reactor wrote on May 20, 2020, 22:15:All of these games look exactly the same to me. It's like someone said to a bunch of 17 year old artists, "Just go wild making a bunch of random and generic art assets - we'll shove them an equally generic looking shooter."

Youre not the only one. Creativity is dying, at least in the mainstream or where mainstream is the goal. No wonder when political correctness is dictating your every thought.
